proteins, both in structure and function. The difference between proteins
and these proteinoids was as huge as the difference between a piece of
high-tech equipment and a heap of unprocessed iron.
Furthermore, it was impossible for these irregular amino acid chains
to have survived in the primordial atmosphere. Harmful and destructive
physical and chemical effects caused by heavy exposure to ultraviolet light
and other unstable natural conditions would have caused these
proteinoids to disintegrate. Because of the Le Châtelier principle, it was
also impossible for the amino acids to combine underwater, where
ultraviolet rays would not reach them. In view of this, the idea that the
proteinoids were the basis of life eventually lost support among scientists.

The Origin of the DNA Molecule
Our examinations so far have shown that the theory of evolution is in
a serious quandary at the molecular level. Evolutionists have shed no light
on the formation of amino acids at all. The formation of proteins, on the
other hand, is another mystery all its own.
Yet the problems are not even limited just to amino acids and
proteins: These are only the beginning. Beyond them, the extremely
complex structure of the cell leads evolutionists to yet another impasse.
The reason for this is that the cell is not just a heap of amino-acid-
structured proteins, but rather one of the most complex systems man has
ever encountered.
While the theory of evolution was having such trouble providing a
coherent explanation for the existence of the molecules that are the basis
of the cell structure, developments in the science of genetics and the
discovery of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) produced brand-new
problems for the theory. In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick
launched a new age in biology with their work on the structure of DNA.
The molecule known as DNA, which is found in the nucleus of each
of the 100 trillion cells in our bodies, contains the complete blueprint for
the construction of the human body. The information regarding all the
characteristics of a person, from physical appearance to the structure of
the inner organs, is recorded in DNA within the sequence of four special
bases that make up the giant molecule. These bases are known as A, T, G,
